Would you ride to work if you got free showers?
If you happen to work in formal setting where appearance is paramount, riding your bike to work can be a tricky affair. You can stash your dry cleaning in the break room, but what do you do about your sweaty, stinky funk when you walk into the office? You could try Earthfirst's tips for freshening up after a ride. Or, if you happen to live in south London, you can stop off at the local Holiday Inn and take a free shower. The Holiday Inn and the Sutton Town Centre have teamed up for a six month pilot program that allows anyone employed by a member of the Sutton Town Centre Business Network to rinse off after their morning ride -- BYO soap, shampoo, and towel. Just swipe your electronic key card and you're ready to get your clean on. It's all part of a plan to encourage Sutton-area employees to green their commute. Will it work? Doubt it, but it will be nicer for those who decide to ride or run -- not to mention those who work beside them.
